Report: Ottawa Senators Players Weren't Happy With Tkachuk Brothers' Podcast
Sure sounds like the Ottawa Senators turned on their captain months ago. Multiple reports have surfaced stating there was several Ottawa Senators players who had concerns over Brady Tkachuk doing a podcast with his brother, Matthew, a forward of the Florida Panthers. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman commented on the 'podcast saga' on a recent episode of 32 Thoughts and opened up about what's been going on within the Senators' dressing room. “It was time,” Friedman said of the trade on the p...
Plan B Option Named For Devils If Mammoth Match Hayton Offer Sheet
The Utah Mammoth have until Wednesday to decide whether to match the $4.775 AAV offer sheet from the New Jersey Devils to Barrett Hayton. The Devils are targeting the former No. 5 overall pick as their third-line center. But if the Mammoth elect to match and keep the franchise's homegrown product, the Devils will be left to search elsewhere for a 3C. James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now has proposed that the Seattle Kraken's Shane Wright would be a good Plan B for the...
Report: Blue Jackets Adam Fantilli A Target Of The Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers' bold move to offer sheet Anaheim Ducks top-line center Leo Carlsson has sent reverberations throughout the NHL. The move has reset baseline contracts for other players in his draft class, including Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli. All three were drafted with the first three picks in the draft: Carlsson after Bedard, and Fantilli the 3rd OA pick in 2023. His trajectory hasn't been the same as his peers, as we've seen this season where Carlsson would begin to...
Canadiens Looking To Move Kirby Dach
After so much promise in his first season with the Montreal Canadiens in 2022-23, injuries and underwhelming performance have marked the last three years for Kirby Dach. As a restricted free agent, he's filed for arbitration this summer, but after his eight goals and 15 points in 37 games this past year, he doesn't have a solid case going in. Besides, Dach and the team are likely heading for a divorce anyway. Insider David Pagnotta tells us that the Habs are open to moving Dach in looking to u...
Bold Proposal Would See Ducks Lose Carlsson But Gain Two Top-6 Centers
The Anaheim Ducks are faced with a massive dilemma this week: To match, or not to match, the insane $18 million AAV offer sheet signed by Leo Carlsson with the Philadelphia Flyers. If they choose not to match, the Flyers would have to send their next four first-round picks in the NHL Draft to the Ducks as compensation. It's still a good bet for Philly, as none of those mid-to-lower-first-round picks will come close to being another Leo Carlsson. It's the old 'best player in the deal wins...
Claude Giroux Delaying Free Agency Decision For One Major Reason
On Friday, a trusted hockey insider reported that unrestricted free agent veteran Claude Giroux was headed back to his longtime original team, the Philadelphia Flyers . So why hasn't it happened yet? It appears there is one major reason. Reports are that several other teams were also in on Giroux, including his incumbent team, the Ottawa Senators , in addition to the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs . In fact, the Leafs, according to insider Elliotte Friedman , made the bigges...

Frank Vatrano Becomes Trade Candidate for Ducks
The Anaheim Ducks ' front office has suddenly become the busiest in hockey. They're in the midst of deciding how to proceed with the $18M AAV offer sheet that Leo Carlsson signed with the Philadelphia Flyers . At the same time, they just salvaged another of their restricted free agents by heading off an offer sheet for Pavel Mintyukov with a big new extension .

Surprising Turn Of Events For Pavel Mintyukov & Ducks
In a stunning and sudden turn of events, the Anaheim Ducks have staved off a pending offer sheet for young defenseman Pavel Mintyukov, as they're coming to terms on a five-year deal for the RFA, at around $7.4 million AAV. Hearing Pavel Mintyukov and the Anaheim Ducks are getting an extension done.

Jason Robertson Heads List of 15 Players Filing For Arbitration
Forget about Jason Robertson signing some huge offer sheet somewhere. As of 5pm ET on Sunday, the Dallas Stars' restricted free agent has officially filed for arbitration, making him no longer eligible to receive an offer sheet. ⚠️ BREAKING: Per Elliotte Friedman, Jason Robertson filed for arbitration. #TexasHockey pic.twitter.com/7QQG0s0JEt — stars.seba (@seba_stars) July 5, 2026 That means either an arbitrator will decide on Robertson's contract for the 2026-27 season, and he'll walk i...
Mavrik Bourque Signs Rich Deal With Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators have locked up their shiny new acquisition, Mavrik Bourque, to a six-year deal, with a $5.5 million AAV. Mavrik Bourque 6 x $5.5M Nashville — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) July 4, 2026 If he becomes a legit top-six center as some feel, this will be a tremendous contract for the Predators. Nashville pounced on Bourque on July 1st when it became obvious that the Dallas Stars wouldn't be able to afford him under their tight cap constraints. The Stars s...
Connor Bedard's Contract Asking Price Projected
With the shocking $18 million AAV offer sheet Leo Carlsson signed on Friday , one's mind starts drifting to what the likes of Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard will be able to sign for. The former is eligible for an extension now, with one year remaining on his entry-level contract, while the latter is now officially a restricted free agent. Do the Chicago Blackhawks wait to see if Bedard will be hit with an offer sheet, too? Or do they quickly get something done first? Whichever way t...
Insider Links Oilers To Free Agent Vladimir Tarasenko
The Edmonton Oilers have cap space for the first time in a long time, and they may be looking to use some of it on a proven goal scorer. Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet , the Oilers could be a team to watch for veteran winger Vladimir Tarasenko. "Wonder if the Oilers look at Vladimir Tarasenko," Friedman wrote. "Heard a few teams looked at him as things calmed down after free agency day one." Why Edmonton Has the Room The link makes sense because of the flexibility Edmonton created th...
Ducks Considering Whether Carlsson ‘Really Wants To Be Here’
The Anaheim Ducks are taking their time (they have six days remaining) before deciding on whether to match the massive offer sheet signed by Leo Carlsson with the Philadelphia Flyers. That $18M blockbuster offer hit like a ton of bricks. One of the things we must keep in mind, however, is the fact that the player has to agree to sign the offer sheet with the intention that he would move to that new team, as Carlsson did with Philadelphia. And that is one of the things that the Ducks' fro...
Intriguing Team Now Linked To Hurricanes' Alexander Nikishin
The Carolina Hurricanes have a big decision to make on rookie RFA defenseman Alexander Nikishin. Do they sign him to the massive contract he's looking for, or deal him? For now, they have made him available to other teams . The big Russian blueliner is not eligible for an offer sheet, but the Stanley Cup champs are willing to listen to trade offers. There are a number of teams that have been linked to the 6'3" rearguard, like the NY Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks, but another team wit...
Report: Dallas Stars Players 'Miffed' With Jason Robertson
The Jason Robertson situation continues to drag on in Dallas. Could he be the next offer sheet story? The restricted free agent's negotiations with the Stars on his next contract certainly have seemed to hit a stalemate, and even gotten to a nasty stage, as the two sides are at least a good $2M apart (in AAV). Now, we're hearing that even his teammates are "miffed" with him, and pleading with him to take one for the team, so to speak. First, it's worth noting that insider David Pagnotta said o...
Seattle Kraken Commit To Trading Shane Wright
Shane Wright has been on the rumor mill since the trade deadline back in March. A very underwhelming second full season in the NHL for the former 4th overall pick (2022 Draft) ensured that his name was bandied about in trade talk. Now, however, it's gone one step further, as the Seattle Kraken have committed to trading Wright this summer, per insider Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. 'I can confirm that we have had positive conversations with GM Jason Botterill, and he has agreed to ...
Buffalo Sabres Dangling Jack Quinn As Trade Bait
The Buffalo Sabres are coming off their first playoff appearance in 15 years, and they are looking to make an even bigger jump next season. That effort may cost them one of their young scorers. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , the Sabres are dangling forward Jack Quinn as trade bait, and have been shopping the winger since before the draft as they look to reshape the roster. Why Buffalo Is Shopping Him Pagnotta reported that the Sabres want a roster upgrade back rather than more...
Flyers Talking Morgan Rielly Trade With Maple Leafs
The Philadelphia Flyers have made upgrading their blue line the top priority of their offseason, and after missing on other targets, they may be circling one of the most available names in the league. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , the Flyers are among the teams that have checked in with the Toronto Maple Leafs about longtime defenseman Morgan Rielly. "One team that poked around a little bit was Philadelphia," Pagnotta said on The DFO Rundown. "And we know that other move with Wol...
Reports: Another Offer Sheet Coming To Pavel Mintyukov

Dallas Stars re-sign Jamie Benn to one-year contract
The Dallas Stars have been dealing with a lot of drama lately related to Jason Robertson's contract, but that doesn't mean they can't take care of other business. The team announced on Friday, they've re-signed Jamie Benn to a one-year contract, worth $850,000.
